dbms_metadata_diff tips

Oracle Database Tips by Donald BurlesonMay 20, 2016

Question: What do
I do to use the dbms_metadata_diff package to compare
schemas. Can you show an example of using
dbms_metadata_diff?

Answer: The dbms_metadata_diff
package is used to compare two schema tables. The
dbms_metadata_diff procedure lets you compare objects
between databases to identify metadata changes over time in
objects of the same type (e.g., table, index).

IMPORTANT: dbms_metadata_diff
is new in Oracle 11gR2, and
dbms_metadata_diff requires a license to the Oracle
Enterprise Manager Change Management option.
